[Blu Pure XL] Short Circuit:
1. If you have adb working (for some reason in my case, my Pure XL doesn't want to be detected by it), then launch cmd in the same directory as adb and fastboot (SHIFT+Right Click) and use the command adb reboot bootloader to put it into the bootloader (don't worry about the tiny text on the bootloader screen saying stuff about security).

2. Then, after you put the TWRP recovery.img in the same folder, use the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to flash TWRP back onto your device (not sure how you managed to corrupt/remove it in the first place).

3. If you don't have adb working (like me), download and use WinDroid Toolkit (which can be found on another post under "Pure XL Android Development"), connect your phone to your computer, select Pure XL under BLU in WinDroid Toolkit, go to the Commands tab, and click Bootloader under the Reboot section, then follow step number two listed above.
[Blu Pure XL] tbirdguy:
Fro no ADB, make sure you have debugging enabled in the dev options under settings (hidden menu you have to tap either kernel version or software version multiple times to unlock; i forget which, but its all over the forums and google...

Also if you have root (its unclear because you are saying you cannot get into recovery, and I honestly didnt read but the last post...) you can load terminal from play store and type "su"<enter> then "reboot recovery" <enter> and it will reboot into recovery

but Id look into the issue of the buttons not working, do they work fine else ware?

Thanks I am up and running and all is well. I can't get the update because I originally rooted the phone before all hell broke loose. But thanks for the help.

[ONE General] Anghirrim:
Hi guys,

TWRP 3.0.0 has just been released. Did any of you flash it?

I did not yet as I am trying a rom and don't need to flash anything until next week.

How about the following points?

- backup/restore ==> Does not map correctly efs, thus does not back it up.

- encryption ==> Confirmed OK on COS 12.1 by [MENTION=3505564]geowolf1000[/MENTION], but failed on several CM13 (Sultan's version + official nightlies) data partition with no logic found yet. It seems to depend if encryption has been made on a CM12 then upgrade to CM13 or directly under CM13.

- f2fs support ==> Confirmed OK by [MENTION=6287776]Haiqal Johari[/MENTION]

- modems/firmwares flash ability ==> Confirmed OK by [MENTION=6287776]Haiqal Johari[/MENTION]

Unless there is one thread already, that might be good to centralize the feedbacks.

Flashed the new version through TWRP 2.8.7.0.5 materialized. Good interface and quite smoother than the 2.8.7.0.5.

After that i flashed the BlissPop 6.0 Chimera (Hybrid-CAF) and it has booted succesfully.

The rest i did't tied it but i prefer much more the 3.0.0 version than others.

Well... Flashed the 3.0.0 version from the 2.8.6.0 and it does not boot into recovery anymore (stuck on the 1+ logo). I'll have to flash it using fastboot I guess.

Edit: Solved, I just had a bad download (file less than 1Mo). Strange that TWRP 2.8.6.0 flashed it anyway...

Unfortunately twrp-3.0.0-0-bacon has not EFS Partition for Backup! What is not good.

For comparison twrp-3.0.0-0-hammerhead has EFS Partition for Backup.

That is why I have flashed twrp-3.0.0-0-bacon-20160206_efs.img which has EFS Partition for Backup.

[ONE General] Jeffrey98:
Did you use the official version for the OPO? Seems like it's trying to backup your EFS partition. While he cannot do that...
[ONE General] Anghirrim:
Yep, the official TWRP 3.0.0 does not map the efs correctly.

Seems the unofficial does. You can find the link in the Unofficial twrp 2.8.7.0 thread.

It is now confirmed that the decryption of CM12/13 encrypted partition does not work either.

And this morning I was unable to install SAOSP rom, I had an error. And when I tried right after using TWRP 2.8.6.0, it passed successfuly.
[ONE General] geowolf1000:
Official twrp never could backup efs

Which cm12 cm13 doess not decrypt?

Snapshot? Nightlies?

Or custom roms?

Be more specific beacause opo has a huge prism of developing and users follow different Kernels or modded partion ramdisk etc
[ONE General] Anghirrim:
You can easily google that... :confused:
[ONE General] Anghirrim:
OK sorry. So far, after re-reading all posts here and on the unofficial TWRP 2.8.7.0 thread, only Sultan's CM13 does not work for encryption. I edited the OP.

I tried flashing cm-13.0-20160206-NIGHTLY-bacon using TWRP 3.0.0-0 after wiping /system /data /cache /dalvik and it kept giving me error 7: couldn't flash on top of COS12.1.1 data. Really strange behavior considering I wiped everything and attempting to reboot it says no OS installed. Attempted a factory reset but still same error. Flashed 2.8.6.0 and it flashed CM13 with no issues. Backups also take double the amount of time it used to with 2.8.6.0. I also initially couldn't transfer files from my PC to the phone, it kept hanging midway and only rebooting recovery helped. I went back to 2.8.6.0 and will await a newer version this current version has some irritating bugs
[ONE General] Aikimaniac:
Hello folks,

ive flashed TWRP 3.0.0.0 directly in TWRP 2.8.6.0 and im not able to enter recovery now, as somebody already mentioned, im stuck also on OnePlus logo. I did wipe during the flash only Cache and Dalvik. Do i have to do now factory reset or system wipe to be able to flash the older one back? :(
[ONE General] geowolf1000:
Try first to restore cyanogen recovery

And after try new twrp

I think only userdata fastboot comand will help you

So restore original partition

But will wipe all yoour storage s

I had a simmilar situation from custom twrp to cyanogen original

Messup my storage

I see that people who flashed custom twrp in past have issues

Nothing wrong because the developer support his work

Just follow one each other
[ONE General] unibangalore:
Same problem with me. You can flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 from fastboot to get recovery back.
[ONE General] Renosh:
I just reboot recovery and the transfer of files worked if that's what you're referring to. I don't have issues with my userdata I did not install COS12.1.1 via fastboot. I just have issues with 3.0.0-0 thinking I still have data from previous ROM when there is none. Solved by using 2.8.6.0
[ONE General] Aikimaniac:
Yeah...thanks for ensuring me... :) i restored it via fastboot..just wondering if somebody at twrp does test stuff before deploying to public or if its always only "on masses"... :)

My post is atleast useful for me, but ur post use less, you wastes one post, just posting for increase ur posts
[ONE General] Anghirrim:
If you think so, up to you.

The encryption/decryption falls under the global Android culture and suggesting you to check on Google is by far my best answer. You'll find a much better explanation than what I can do by myself.

The goal of XDA is to share knowledge and help each other. Helping someone is not only giving him the "easy and ready to use" answers. Suggesting you to search on Google is another way to help you ( truly, I am not sarcastic).

Imagine if everyone would ask their questions directly on forums rather than searching by themselves? Let's keep clean the wonderful ressource that XDA is, and ask questions for which you are not able to find the answer by yourself easily (more than 2mn Googling).

What will be next? What is the MRA bug, what does COS stand for? I asked myself these questions and it would have been so easy to ask people here... But I choose to search Google (or any other search tool), and found my answers in 30s.

Don't take it bad but yes, there are some questions to which the best answer is "Did you Google it?".
[ONE General] kingsathurthi:
Haha nice, I googled but can't able understand what it is
[ONE General] Anghirrim:
Try this (second link searching for "data encryption android"):

http://www.howtogeek.com/141953/how-to-encrypt-your-android-phone-and-why-you-might-want-to/

If you still can't understand what encryption is on our phone, I would suggest you to translate the word " encryption" into your own language and search for ressources using it.

[ONE General] lapapunk:
Yep.. Confirm it too. Can't flash this roms..
[ONE General] arh2o:
I've experienced this too when trying to clear cache/dalvik. Why does it hang forever?
[ONE General] Anghirrim:
Per some guys on the official TWRP 3.0.0 thread, it's due to the different ways TWRP wipes the partitions.

The version 3.0.0 seems to do a "secure erase" while the older 2.8.6.0 and other faster versions do a simple wipe.
[ONE General] CuPoX:
Tried it going form Exodus to Smartisan, and going back to Exodus of course!! :D All was good.
[ONE General] DerRomtester:
No problems so far. wiped system data and cache and also restored some backups.
[ONE General] fritzcola:
I have a problem. I tried to wipe cache and it took so long that I decided to stop that process and rebooted to recovery. Now every time I try to wipe cache with rm or normal it says it shows error can't hang up /cache (invalid format). What to do?
[ONE General] tiny4579:
fastboot erase cache or fastboot format cache should replace it with a standard ext4 formatting cache.

And a general comment. CM13 encryption has been a bumpy ride so far. It wasn't working for a while, then it was, then there was an issue discovered that hardware encryption wasn't actually used. This necessitated some updates on TWRP's end which I have tested in an unofficial 2.8.7.x build by dees_troy. However, they've been going back and forth with firmware blobs that encryption could be an issue due to that. Until the firmware stabilizes back on the newer baseband with related blobs, we can't say for sure.
[ONE General] Renosh:
Any idea why TWRP 3.0.0-0 errors while flashing between different ROMs even though a clean flash (not factory reset) was done? I also tried factory reset and it didn't help? Older versions work flawlessly with wiping and I heard the latest is using some secure wipe
[ONE General] tiny4579:
I've only updated cm builds on it and that works fine. What error message do you get?
[ONE General] Renosh:
Gives me a status 7 error about incompatible data when I try to install a ROM after coming from another one. I was moving from COS12.1.1 to CM13. 2.8.6.0 worked without issues and I've seen others mention the same in various thread when trying to flash Slimsaber and other various ROMs when going from CM etc
[ONE General] bravho:
Installing, restoring, back uping, etc all good (also restoring back up from 2.8.6)

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecaslak:
If you are still on Lollipop, it can be rooted with Low Effort root and you can install Xposed through Flashify. That's it, since there's no bootloader unlock. If you're on Marshmallow, you can't root.

I'd swap out your US991 for a T-Mobile H811 (which comes with an unlockable bootloader out of the box). You can only unlock the bootloader on International (non-US) H815s and the T-Mobile H811.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daanhorn:
Hi all,

I'm trying to get an Asus ME301T running again. It would hang on startup so I tried to flash the stock ROM again. I've tried for three days now without success.

I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 with ADB and Fastboot from PPA and set Android rules and stuff. Using this same setup, I could flash TWRP to my old HTC One X.

The following works:

sudo fastboot devices //shows my device id

sudo fastboot reboot

sudo fastboot erase system, userdata, boot, cache

The following seems to freeze the device, as the RCK/Android/wipe data screen stops blinking:

sudo fastboot erase recovery, misc

sudo -i 0x0b05 flash system blob //blob file of stock ROM, hangs on line "writing 'system' " and makes the device screen stop blinking

erasing 'system'...

OKAY [ 0.193s]

sending 'system' (10257 KB)...

OKAY [143.739s]

writing 'system'...

The same thing happens when I try to flash TWRP to the recovery partition.

I think the device has not been unlocked using the unlock APK file from Asus, but I cannot do that, as I cannot start Android. Is there another way?

Any help would be really appreciated!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdaarya:
Hi there,

At some time in 2014 I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S4 and today I wanted to flash a custom rom but I think I messed up. I don't think it's bricked but I'm not sure.

Firstly about my rooted device:

MODEL: GT-I9505

ANDROID VERSION: 4.4.2

BASEBAND VERSION: I9505XXUFNC4

KERNAL VERSION: 3.4.0-481100 dpi@SWDD5908 #1 Sat Mar 8 00:28 KST 2014

BUILD NUMBER: KOT49H.I9505XXUFNC4

TWRP recovery mod

So the problem is that I cannot even access the recovery mode. Everytime I try to access it (via power button, home button and volume up) the phone's start screen comes then it automatically turns off. I can access download mode (power button, home button and volume down).

I had installed mobile odin to try installing a custom rom but it didn't work so I deleted everything on my phone with TWRP and since then my phone is as I described it above. It doesn't turn on but it can go on Download Mode.

I would like to install Graviton rom for my S4: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2372742

Could someone help me out please? I quickly need to fix this phone. I tried flashing the Graviton rom but I can't since Odin doesn't accept zip/rar files and inside the rar there isn't any TAR or MD5 file.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
You must use a custom recovery such as TWRP to flash a custom ROM..

If the phone is recognized by the desktop version of Odin, flash the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
I used mobile odin once. It wiped the rom and the recovery from the phone.

Had to flash recovery again (TWRP) in order to restore the rom backup.

Use my example. Flash TWRP via Odin. Then flash the rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdaarya:
On this website https://twrp.me/ - it doesn't have my device on the devices page. Does that mean it doesn't support it or is it okay for me to download the latest version for flashing?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdaarya:
Thanks, I already thought of this. Im in the process of flashing it. Will update you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdaarya:
I wanted to flash the latest stock rom from sammobile but the PDA code is different to mine. The latest one is I9505XXUHOJ2 and mine is I9505XXUFNC4 baseband. Does that mean I should not flash the latest one?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
The latest is probably lollipop. Just reflash the same rom that is currently on your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdaarya:
Hi all,

It worked. I flashed the native rom from sammobile. I want the latest firmware - version 5.0.1. Can I still flash it the same way? The latest one is I9505XXUHOJ2 and mine is I9505XXUFNC4 baseband.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdaarya:
Update: I have the latest version now 5.0.1. Somehow the phone allowed me to update it.

I need more help guys. I tried flashing CWM_6.0.4.7_Touch_GT-I9505 with Odin but it doesn't work. On odin it says Pass in green but when i try to load the recover I dont see anything - the phone then restarts.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
CWM is outdated. Use TWRP. They released version 3.0.0 some days ago.

Untick auto reboot in Odin. Once the process is done, disconnect the phone and turn it off. Then boot directly into twrp with the vol up + home + power button key combo.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdaarya:
Thank you very much!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdaarya:
So I installed TWRP 3.0 via TWRP manager... while in the app it asked me to restart and check out the recovery.. i said okay... it restarted and i saw it. i thought it worked so i turned the phone off to manually check it.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Boots perfectly fine for me.

You do realize that you have to stop pressing the buttons when the phone vibrates, right? Eventually you can keep pressing the vol up button even after the vibration, bu you have to let go of the power button, otherwise it will just turn off.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I suggest always installing TWRP via Odin.
